About product

de Havilland DH.89 Dragon Rapide and Dominie (Warpaint Series No.135)

An English-language monograph from the Warpaint Series of the British house Guideline Publications. The author is Adrian M. Balch, and the color profiles were supplied by Sam Pearson. It is a softcover publication in A4 format, not a kit: the package holds no model and no parts for a model. The reach of the book is wider than it tends to be with the purely military volumes of the series, because the Dragon Rapide spent most of its life in civil colors and the military version is only one of its chapters.

What the book contains

  • The origin and development of the DH.89 type from the requirement to series production
  • An overview of the operators country by country, civil and military alike
  • Chapters on the military Dominie version in Royal Air Force service
  • A rich photographic section and color plates of profiles and top views
  • Separate pages of detailed drawings and detail shots

Who it is for

For modelers who want to build a Dragon Rapide in a particular finish, and for anyone interested in British aviation between the wars. The type was created in the 1930s as a small transport biplane with a pair of inline engines and a cabin for a few passengers; the military took it over as the Dominie, mainly for the training of radio operators and navigators and for liaison duty. Because the machine flew in civil colors for decades after the war, the choice of schemes is very varied and some of the aircraft have survived to the present day. A biplane structure with fabric covering also sets the modeler different tasks than all-metal types: the accuracy of the bracing, the control cables and the color lines decides. The text is in English. Check the extent, the structure and the language version on the packaging.
